Extreme Flying Manoeuvres:
EXTREME FLYING MANOEUVRES SHOULD ONLY BE CARRIED
OUT DURING SAFETY TRAINING COURSE
( INSTABILITY TRAINING )
UNDER PROPER INSTRUCTION !
Tuck :
A negative angle of attack will cause the NOVA PHILOU, like any other
canopy, to tuck.
If one wing tucks, the NOVA PHILOU usually keeps flying straight,
unless it's a large tuck.
The pilot could help the canopy to re-inflate, by pulling the brakes gentle
on both sides, and by a slow, long pumping action on collapsed side,
maintaining a straight flight path.
In case of a big tuck this braking should be gentle enough to avoid the
canopy stalling.
Fullstall :
To induce a full stall, apply full brake on both sides and hold the brakes
in that position.
The NOVA PHILOU generally flies backwards during a full stall and
forms a front rosette.
The canopy must be stabilised before letting out the full stall. If the
canopy is not stabilised and the full stall is let out too early the canopy
may surge forward a long way.
To recover from a full stall both brakes must be let up symmetrically at a
moderate speed ( 1 second ).
The NOVA PHILOU surges forward a little bit after recovering from a full
stall whereby a tuck may occur ( correct as under `tuck` ).
An ‘asymmetric’ recovery ( one control released faster than the other )
from a full stall is used by test pilots to simulate a paraglider falling out
of a thermal and must not be practised by inexperienced pilots.
